An 25-year-old girl from New York experienced an allergic reaction to a local pain medication, which included benzocaine.

She developed methemoglobinemia, a disorder in which iron no longer binds to oxygen and does not carry it throughout the body.

Before going to bed, a Long Island resident used almost the entire bottle of pain medication to soothe her toothache.
